This is a fantastic song as part of the Horrible Histories series on CBBC. Considering this was made for a children’s programme, and unlikely to be seen by a much wider audience, the production and quality of the song is amazing. You can check out four other great and varied songs as part of the Horrible Histories series 5 over at Radio Times. Although not quite as good as the Equality Song (in my opinion), they are each a fantastic tune in their own right. Smart, funny, and educational.

Rosa Parks herself was an incredibly important lady in the civil rights movement. Having a song sung about her to the tune of Respect by Aretha Franklin seems very apt.
